Chapter 148 How come this day has ended like this?
Now that the matter of pulling out the electric wires was agreed upon, the construction team entered the village within a few days and started work in full swing.
At exactly this time, there was a "bang" of thunder in the sky, dark clouds gathered, and a heavy rainstorm started immediately.
It has already reached the end of summer, and the weather is gradually getting cooler. A heavy rain will probably extinguish the last heat of summer.
Since the establishment of Lu Yongguo's transportation company, Yu Qingheng has been able to take care of all the big and small things in the company, while he has been lazing around at home and spending time with his wife and children.
I originally wanted to help when I saw someone pulling out the wires, but when I saw the heavy rain, I simply gave up the idea.
When I returned to the house, I saw Cree Yaqian teaching An An how to read, with a cattail leaf fan shaking in her hand.
The sound of rain outside the house made the scene inside the house feel particularly warm and quiet.
Lu Yongguo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He turned around and went downstairs, put on his bamboo hat, went to the well in the yard, and pulled up a watermelon that was stuck in it.
When cut into pieces, send them to Wang Qiaoping and Lu Wenqi.
Wang Qiaoping held a cattail leaf fan in her hand and looked at the rain in the yard and worried.
"I don't know if the Yong family and others have arrived. It's raining so heavily and it's not safe on the road."
Lu Yongguo laughed at her: "Mom, don't worry, the train is safe."
"What about Yongchang? I don't know how Yongchang is recovering in the rehabilitation center." Wang Qiaoping turned around and took a piece of watermelon and said to her eldest son while eating it.
"Everything is fine. It's the best rehabilitation center I've ever visited in Yongchang, and it has special care."
"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so worried?"
"When it rains, people miss home especially," Wang Qiaoping said.
Damn it, this is idle.
Since returning from the capital, the land at home has been completely deserted. Wang Qiaoping and Lu Wenqi have simply given up on this season's crops, and have become completely idle.
The out-and-out farmers here, when nothing happens, actually feel sad about spring and autumn.
Lu Yongguo smiled and said nothing.
He turned around and went upstairs, holding an uncut half of a watermelon in his hand.
He remembered that Cree Yaqian once said that watermelon tastes better if it is scooped and eaten, so Lu Yongguo kept it in mind. No matter how many people were in the family, he would always leave half of the watermelon uneaten.
Then put it with two small spoons and send it upstairs.
Cree Yaqian was very happy when her husband handed over the cool watermelon. She took it and ate it with her daughter spoon by spoon.
Lu Yongguo looked at the appearance of his wife and daughter, and inexplicably thought of Wang Qiaoping's words.
On rainy days, people really miss home.
"When will school start?" Lu Yongguo asked, sitting next to Cree Yaqian.
"There are still a few days."
"Anyway, if you are about to be promoted to this school, you don't need to prepare anything in particular. You can just report it when the time comes, and then you can take your time to decorate the dormitories."
"What's wrong?" Cree Yaqian turned her head to look at Lu Yongguo. She always easily caught her husband's emotions.
"Nothing." Lu Yongguo shook his head.
"Didn't you say you wanted to set up a grape trellis in the yard? I've been free for the past two days, so I put up the trellis. When the time comes, I'll pull up the vines so that we can eat grapes next year."
"Yeah, okay." Cree Yaqian nodded.
"This watermelon is so sweet, take a bite."
She dug out a big piece for Lu Yongguo to eat.
Lu Yongguo lowered his head and took a bite.
"Is it sweet?" Cree Yaqian asked him, tilting her head.
"sweet……"
**
Within a few days, the wires were quickly pulled up.
The villagers were so surprised that when they pulled the wire, the lights came on with a "pop".
It’s really much brighter than a kerosene lamp!
"How is this made? How can such a glass bubble make it shine brighter than daytime?"
An old man next to me was cursing: "Get out of here! What kind of photos are you taking in broad daylight? You don't need money! You wasteful thing!"
When the child heard the curse, he ran away.
The old man was left holding the cane tremblingly as he went up and wiped the light bulb again and again.
"Hey!" After wiping, the old man laughed again.
"Who would have thought of this? After living a lifetime and getting old, an old man like me can still use this new gadget?"
Of course, everyone in the village had their power lines connected, except for two families.
The Feng family and the Liu family!
Lu Yongguo refused to pay for the two families.
It can be said that these two families are the poorest in the village now.
Where did they get the money to pull the wires?
So the whole village was bright and bright, but these two were the only ones that were dark.
This made Mrs. Feng very angry.
"Wen Lu Yongguo has suffered a lot. You have paid for the whole village, and you only need two yuan from my family? You bullied my half-buried old woman, and you will be punished sooner or later."
Old lady Feng stood in the yard and cursed at the Lu family.
"You deserve it!"
At this moment, Zhang Fen walked out of the room.
She held a basin of water in her hand and poured it into the yard with a splash. She didn't know whether it was intentional or a coincidence, but it happened to fall at the feet of Mrs. Feng.
Old Mrs. Feng jumped up in fright and backed away repeatedly.
"Who asked you to do so many immoral things?" Zhang Fen said.
"First you reported someone, and then you almost killed them, and they still want to pull the wire for you?
You think beautifully!
The Lu family is rich and not stupid."
After Zhang Fen finished speaking, she turned around and headed into the house, still muttering in a low voice: "What evil did I commit in my previous life to meet such a sinister mother-in-law like you?"
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.
Mrs. Feng naturally dared not speak out in anger at her daughter-in-law's abuse.
How strong is people's ability to adapt? In the past, Mrs. Feng was domineering at home, but now she doesn't dare to say anything when someone points her nose in and scolds her, and can only make faces at Zhang Fen's back.
The Liu family on the other side is in the same situation.
Liu Feng felt upset when he saw other people's electric lamps, so he simply put down his hoe again and left.
If Liu Feng doesn't go to the ground, the family can't go without eating, right?
So this land can only be used by Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu used to be so proud. Her son was filial and her daughter-in-law was at her mercy. She had the best life in the whole village. She didn't have to do any work all day long and just went about her business.
Now that I am old, I still have to work.
When I went back, I heard a "boom" in the house.
Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she quickly opened the door and went in.
Sure enough, Liu Feng got drunk again and fell off the stool.
"Liu Feng, Liu Feng..."
Old Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she quickly went up to help her son up.
But a drunk person is heavy and heavy. How can Mrs. Liu, with her old arms and legs, help her up?
"Liu Feng, Feng..." Mrs. Liu called her son's name.
"What are you doing? What are you doing drinking so much wine?"
But Liu Feng was so drunk at the moment, how could he answer what Mrs. Liu said?
